I tried to draw a picture of a Venn diagram showing the relationship between Tom Clancy fans and The Waifs' fans, but I think I busted my computer. It's smoking and flickering now.

Funny, the line of cigarettes is called Legal (pronounced "lay-GAHL").



I will leave those jokes for bush-leaguers.
sales of the Colombian-made cigarettes have totaled about $500,000

So you have a lifetime supply of "Colombian" cigarettes? Is that legal (pronounced lay-GAHL)?

Suffice it to say that I can't wait until my little girl is old enough that I can read here Red Storm Rising at bedtime.

One can like Tom Clancy books without mistaking them as blueprints for how to run actual real-life stuff. I read trashy romance novels but do not base actual life decisions on what I learn from them. Usually. Particularly since the FB provides more detailed and valuable insight into snowballing, swallowing, kissing, blow jobs, etc. so I don't really need the parts of the books that might be transferable to actual life.

yet another request from paigow that will go unheeded though it is brilliant
 
Can Rimmer make emoticons that go SCHWING (little smiley face dicks getting hard?) and an emoticon that shows drops coming out of a smiley face brazilian? or nips hardening or something? We dont need an emoticon for gape shots though.

Reading about a blow job in a Tom Clancy book would be like finding prosciutto in your milk.

Paigs now has IM again and is getting tons of sexual IMs forom that perv Thurgreed so my posting may go down. I know everyone will be disappointed.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out to everyone, particularly Thurgreed "yo mama" Marshall, that I have demonstrably gotten the monkey off my back. I'm off the rock.

As for world records, one of my favorite things to do (and one thing I am very good at) is doing nothing - that is - standing like a statue completely motionless for hours on end. At one time I used to make money at it - stores in malls would pay me to stand in front of them in clothes from the store while people tried to get me to blink or move etc. (Of course, when you have an audience, sometimes you have to move to please them or else they lose interest).

It's really a great job if you enjoy daydreaming, or getting so motionless that you get into a sort of trance-like state. I can fall asleep with my eyes open, so that came in handy. I used to like to see how long I could go, so sometimes I would go for 8 hours standing completely still. That gets difficult without a pee break so you do have to plan for it.
I love you to pieces, but you really are one odd bird.

Boston church offers to settle suits
 
Your tax deductible catholic church contributions at work...

BOSTON, Aug. 8 — The Archdiocese of Boston has offered $55 million to settle 542 clergy sex abuse lawsuits, an attorney for the plaintiffs said Friday.

THE OFFER CAME just a week after Archbishop Sean Patrick O’Malley was installed as head of the nation’s fourth-largest diocese.
The settlement would resolve claims from men and women who said they were abused as children by clergy within the Boston Archdiocese while church leaders routinely ignored the misdeeds. A recent report from the state attorney general estimated that more than 1,000 children were abused over four decades.

So I sent an email entitled "Requisition" to our* IT department asking if they would please order the parts needed to make the (previously mentioned) PC Still with a link to the directions.

I got an email back saying I had been reported to Boss X by the IT dept.

I am waiting for the memo where I acknowledge that email is not to be used for personal purposes, blah, blah, blah, I am a bad person, and that I promise never ever ever to do that again upon threat of death. Alternately, Boss X will LOL and pass it around the office.

Apparantly the IT boys have nothing worthwhile to do today, perhaps I will download a virus or something to keep them busy. Geez.

I should ask about this... I'm tight with our IT guys (comes in handy for this). Hell, knowing them, they've already got it set up.

Trust me people, be nice to your IT staff and that automatically puts you ahead of 95% of the other lawyers... I've had the IT head offer to hook up my MP3 at work... I'm tempted, but I think I'll pass.

After a particularly stressful week (I really need to start watchng these reality shows for tips on how to handle the new evil-boss) I thought I'd take a moment and give thanks for the little things:

1. Odwalla Lime Quencher - this stuff is soooo yummy;
2. The Red Sox - cause they make baseball exciting even when they lose;
3. Soccer - such a great way to burn off stress, ARGH!!;
4. The FB - you guys always make me laugh and put things in perspective. It's hard to stay stressed when the finer points of corn and splooge are being debated. Now that's important stuff!
5. The SO - not that he's 'little' or anything, but he's been very sweet and understanding. I'll have to reward him with something I learned on the board this week, but not Slot C!

Off to Jury Duty - don't know if I want to get picked or not but it's a day away from the cell phone and BB.

I think I need to go back to just getting emailed.
The number of pms listed count those both in your in box and your out box. The one that says you have a new one is just a leftover from a new one until the cookie expires and resets.

If you are getting the popup box that informs you you have a new pm, and when you go to your in box you don't have any, it is because you are at the maximum number of pms you can store. You need to delete some. If you don't want to delete the ones in your in box, go to the out box and delete some of the ones in there. You won't be able to receive any more though until you get below 20 again.

A way to avoid going over is to not check the keep a copy in your sent box option unless for some reason you want to keep a copy of what you sent. The default is for it not to be checked.

2. Please beat the Yankees. Please.

3. Nothing like kicking strangers to make you feel better.

4. No kidding. Especially when the boss has just dumped heaps of work on you and goes to "a meeting."

5. Whatever makes him happy. Remember what it was like being single.

Jury duty can be fun - it beats work. Because work blows.

E! True Hollywood Story: Jenna
 
Caught a lot of this but not all. This has to be the most untragic porn star story of all time. Her mom died when she was a kid and she had a speed problem? Boring. And there was no discussion of when she got iher implants for the first time which is a critical step in crossing the line into the porn star world.


That said, she really is a good looking girl in a trashy way and she remains my favorite porn star. I am a little bummed that she referred to her bisexualiy in the past tense. Can anyone (and by anyone, I probalby mean Less and Slave) recommend her best work? And where can I buy porn DVDs without going to a questionable site?

First of all, if you want to try your hand at translation posts, you need a lot of work. Second of all, I did get rejected since all I got was a blowjob. I didn't tcb that night but probably did the next, I did fall asleep, I did not "take and pee," I clearly never washed my hands. I did wake up but she walked herself to the curb.

This is a TM kinda complaint but whatever. Is it really necessary to post links to news that I have already been inundated with since I woke up at 530 this morning?

Also, does ANYONE know what kind of cancer it was? He has looked like hell for years.

Waking up at 5:30 in the morning would make me sick so I can understand why you are grumpy. I didn't know that Gregory Hines had died until I saw it on MSNBC.com and thought that perhaps others were also unaware -- and I hadn't seen any mention of it here so that bolstered my belief that I was not the only one who didn't know. I have scanned a bunch of stories and cannot find any reference to the form of cancer -- just that he died on the way to the hospital.

Update on the chick with the mustache
 
I spoke of last week(?). I had said though she was mustachioed, she was straight and shacked up with some guy for about nine years. Well, this is partially correct. Apparently, she is carrying on a boyfriend sanctioned affair with this married chick. They were spotted at a party totally going at it. The boyfriend was there.

So, I guess it is true. All chicks with mustaches are gay or gayish. Go figure.
